"An explosion occurred in Sarai Shahzada in Kabul on Sunday," Tolo News said in a Tweet.

In the past month, at least 22 cases of violence against journalists were recorded under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

The information on mistreatment of media was shared by the Afghanistan Federation of Journalists and Media (AFJM) on Wednesday, reported Tolo News.

Speaking at a press conference in Kabul, AFJM member Ali Azghar Akbarzada expressed concern over the status of the media in Afghanistan and said that within the same period eight media organizations have halted operations due to economic challenges.

"There have been 22 cases of violence against journalists in March. One case is the insulting of journalists. The rest of the cases include short-term detentions," he said.
